Exhaust leak, I need help guys

Well, let me start off by saying I took my downpipe off of my car this weekend and got the leak welded. Dunno what caused it, but I did fix one problem.

When it was off I discovered my O2 sensor was bad, need to replace that.

Here's the kicker, I have a gasket leaking in the manifold area. Definetly behind the turbo. So here's my question, what needs to be taken off to take off the turbo? Upper and lower intake manifold I'm assuming...but is that it? Anyone?

I don't have a turbo so I don't know. But a Haynes manual will tell you how. If you don't feel like buying the manual just go to the parts store and look it up and takes some notes then go home and wrench away. The service manual at www.fc3s.org probably has the info you need also.

only buy the steel downpipes. Heavier but there more reliable.

Intake manifolds stay in place.&nbsp The exhaust needs to be "loosened" and the turbo hoses all need to be removed.
